Nashville's Attractions

Nashville loves to play and that's why there's fun to be had around every corner. The area's many attractions paint a picture of this unique Southern city and leave an indelible impression on all who visit.

Play the Music

Nashville is Music City, and we have the musical attractions to prove it. Whether you want to listen to the latest craze at the honky tonks or honor the past musicians that built this city, Nashville is playing your tune.

FUN AROUND TOWN

How much can you know about yourself until you have been in a live-action adventure where you have an hour to escape with your favorite people or be blown up by a make-believe bomb? The answer? Not a lot. Find the answer by heading to any of the cool, creative attractions around Music City that give you a chance to play in a game or live-action adventure.

Visit the museums

Heading inside a museum in Nashville is like playing a playlist you created from the past. Artifacts, memorabilia, and more from legends like Johnny Cash are displayed to spark old memories and get us more familiar with the artists we love. Don't miss the Frist Center for the Visual Arts which has a rotating display of amazing exhibits to teach us about everything from ancient civilizations to modern art.

Dive into the past

In Nashville, you can walk the same grounds of our country's 7th President at his home estate, visit Belle Meade Plantation, a 150-year old antebellum home that tells the story of Old South from prosperity to the Civil War, and discover how the city of Nashville was founded at the Fort Nashborough Interpretive Center. Music City holds 230 years of history just waiting to be discovered.

Get cultured with Nashville

Nashville's creative community spills out into its art galleries, theaters, and performance stages. Each month you can take part in First Saturday Art Crawl downtown where thousands flock to get the latest glimpse at what's shaking in Music City. You can always head to TPAC for a Broadway play or musical. And make sure to check out the Nashville Ballet or Nashville Opera. We do, each time we get.

Go on a culinary adventure

Music City's ever expanding food scene offers an experience for both body and soul. We have some great culinary tours to take a big bite of the culinary scene, or you can make up your own agenda and experience it one bite at a time.

Free Music, Free Nashville

You don't have to pay a pretty penny to experience Music City. We showcase live music 365 days of the year for free (don't forget to tip the band). And there are plenty of free things to do around Nashville for those looking to keep the spending light during their stay.

Nashville - the only constant

Nashville. The only constant in a town filled with variables (attractions) to explore the great mysteries of our universe and the natural side of things. Make sure you check out the Adventure Science Center during your visit. It's a place filled with great, spectacular fun.
